To celebrate the day, we are listing a few books for fathers - all cheap - because Dad has told us many times that money does not grow on trees.
The last book featured in this group is a Western, because Dad loves Westerns. He was the reader in the family and taught us to love to read. As we were growing up, he often said, "I've bought you books and bought you books. . . " Happy Fathers Day, Dad!
Become A Touchdown Dad, the Breakthrough Book by David Justus, has helped hundreds of fathers turn their love of football into a winning parenting style. Written in the storytelling tradition of The One Minute Manger Series, this book is the inspiring story of one man's challenges in being a father. With the help of a fictional college-football team, a fatherhood coach, and a narrative that is both informative and entertaining, you will see many of the typical problems all men face in being a father, from enforcing the rules to protecting their children to being a good provider.
The book is divided into four quarters covering the areas of child discipline; establishing rules, rewards and consequences; improving communication; protecting children; and, goal setting and employment strategies. Dads and everyone else can buy Become a Touchdown Dad for only $2.97.

DAD: The Man Who Saved the Planet
Recalling his growing-up years in Los Angeles following World War II, author James Pratt describes twelve lessons he learned from observing his father, an unpretentious and uneducated man who acquired little of this world's wealth but who lived an honorable life.
"For some, these twelve virtues may seem antiquated, out of date, or hopelessly provincial," writes Pratt. "I don't see it that way. What my father practiced and conveyed to me were principles that made it possible for children to grow up in a stable, two-parent home, where there was a widely accepted code of decency, honesty, honor, and patriotism."
This book recalls simpler times, when Southern California was still filled with dusty little towns and when a man could have purchased the bean fields that have become LAX for $5 an acre - if he had somehow had five dollars. Readers will enjoy this loving retrospective, a fitting tribute to dads everywhere.
You can purchase DAD: The Man Who Saved the Planet for only $3.99.

Sins of the Father
There'd never been a policeman killed in the line of duty here. It was a small town in the Midwest, for God's sake. Cassie closed her eyes and made a silent wish: Please don't let anyone else die tonight.
In the heart of America's breadbasket "where life moves at a slower pace and love feels as sure as the seasons" a series of attacks on police and firemen shock the inhabitants of Mt. Vista.
The violence begins with a vicious attack on two young women in Chicago, revealing a dark family secret. Then a horrendous storm and a crime of opportunity plunge Mt. Vista Officer Dillon Stone into an eerie battle of wits with a madman.
Murder. Vengeance. Two generations. A killer is on the loose and Dillon has precious little time to solve a mystery spanning decades. But can he do it from the other side of the grave? He must find a way. His lover's life, the town he is sworn to protect, and millions of dollars are on the line.

On the Edge
Pamela Britton has written this story of Rebecca Newman, widow of five-time Winston Cup champion Randy Newman. Rebecca has inherited Newman Motorsports, and she needs a new driver. Against the advice of everyone around her, Rebecca makes the decision to hire an unknown NASCAR driver, Adam Drake.
And she's proven right, as Adam wins race after race. Rebecca, widowed for four years, is drawn to Adam off the track, too, and his precocious 10-year-old-daughter, Lindsey, adds to the attraction. After all, Lindsey convinced Rebecca to consider her dad, and now the little girl is playing matchmaker.
Like Rebecca, Adam is still healing--he was dumped by his ex-wife for another race-car driver, so a new relationship would represent a big gamble. These seemingly broken individuals find that love can make them whole again, and it just may be a wild ride getting there.
On the Edge, a touching story of a father finding love, is available today for only $4.50.
